5. Using this cut strip as a guide, cut one more piece
identical to it and two strips that are the exact mirror
images of the first piece. Sew two mirror-imaged strips
together to form the long (side) borders (Figure 3).
6. To prepare to sew the inner border strips to the quilt,
begin by pinning the midpoint of one of the strips to the
middle of one of the edges of the quilt. Pin the corners
next. Then find the midpoint of each half and pin.
Continue finding midpoints and pinning. Finally ease in
any fullness, pinning carefully all along the edge. Sew all
four inner border strips to the quilt. Sew the miters last.
7. Sew the middle border strips to all four sides of the quilt
and miter the corners.
8. Repeat steps 1-6 for the outer border.
9. Layer the backing, batting, and quilt top; baste. Quilt,
bind, and finish as desired.
